农贸市场被吹捧为带来社区发展和营养效益，但也被批评为只得到社会少数阶层的光顾。我们回顾了关于农民市场属性的文献，发现很少有研究探讨激励和抑制因素的相互作用或边缘化人群的独特观点。我们报道了焦点小组和密歇根州的一项全州范围的调查，调查了围绕农贸市场的态度和行为，着眼于代表性不足的群体。虽然人们普遍对新鲜的当地产品感兴趣，但不同人口群体的态度和遇到的障碍各不相同。最后，我们希望增加直接市场在不同社会的相关性的利益相关者的影响。
Farmers' markets are touted to bring community development and nutritional benefits yet are criticized for being patronized by narrow segments of society. We review literature on farmers' market attributes thatmotivate patrons, finding little research that explores either the interaction of incentives and disincentives or unique perspectives from marginalized populations. We report on focus groups and a statewide survey in Michigan investigating attitudes and behaviors surrounding farmers' markets with an eye toward underrepresented groups. Though interest in fresh, local products was widespread, attitudes and barriers experienced differed across demographics. We conclude with implications for stakeholders wishing to increase the relevance of direct markets in diverse societies.
